Three very symmetrical rhombuses

when sartre said "hell is other people" he failed to mention that heaven is also other people

Sartre said in 1971, “But that’s only that side of the coin. The other side, which no one seems to mention, is also ‘Heaven is each other.’ … Hell is separateness, uncommunicability, self-centeredness, lust for power, for riches, for fame. Heaven, on the other hand, is very simple—and very hard: caring about your fellow beings.”

just remember that you are unworthy. your feelings are not valid and the voices in your head are always right. tense your shoulders more and don't unclench your jaw. everyone hates you and i hope you have a terrible day. and don't forget to spread negativity!

STOP! are you operating on an arbitrary set of terms and rules known only to you? have you created an ultimatum or specific if/then scenario for someone else without communicating it to them? have you considered making a decision and calculated all the consequences and potential reactions to those consequences and consequences for those reactions before you actually made the decision? it may be time to say some words out loud to another person!

have had the unfortunate experience of reading a lot of rationalist and postrationalist writing lately and i think just about everyone in both spaces could stand to be significantly more allergic to insight porn

if you are older than 16 and you read something and it's entirely reframing the world for you and you feel like everything suddenly aligns in perfect crystalline clarity you should be deeply deeply skeptical. that feeling is your enemy

if you're 16 or younger there are probably still some big ones that you haven't run into yet so you get some slack. just don't write anything with your real name/face attached until the feeling has faded

Despite approximately 200,000 years of evolution, humans are still completely vulnerable while they sleep and lack any sort of defensive mechanism.

The defense mechanism is community you self centered prick

starts talking about my emotional state with 2 degrees of abstraction instead of 7 and the sniper across the street who i pay to keep me in line fires a warning shot thru my little hoop earring

One of the most frustrating things to come out of this whole affair is twitter's insistence that no one could ever prefer to work in an office, and anyone who says they do is a liar or a corporate shill.

Just complete inability to imagine preference other than their own.

(i also don't like tomato sauce)

listen we all dissociate sometimes, but what do you do when multiple people who are in regular contact with you, literally, consistently, by their own admission, forget that you exist

A lot of my everyday experiences like people almost never noticing me when i talk or wave or hand something to them, people regularly literally walking into me on an empty street etc can be explained by my being 5'2", but at some point it becomes something more than that
